What if, after resigning from the Speakership in November 1998, Newt Gingrich had decided to remain in the House of Representatives as an ordinary congressman instead of leaving altogether?
Wrong forum, dude.
Dammit, I was sure I'd hit the after-1900 button.
Sorry. Please move to after-1900.
Wrong forum, dude.
He would get more attention. Do you think he would run for president in 2008?
Yeah, I can't imagine him actually even staying. The hatred that would be directed at him once he's out of power would be nasty. And here's a quote about LBJ that suits Newt: "If he wasn't the leader of the team, he would take his ball and go home."He retires in 2000.

He could make a senate bid in 2002 or 2004.
Senate Majority Leader Gingrich???
Nah... he'd need to stay on a lot longer than that. The Senate works off of seniority.
Why run for Senate when you can make that sweet, sweet historian money?
